5 steps to a better salary



On paper it might be your ideal role, but what seems like the perfect job can quickly turn into a nightmare if it doesn’t come with a big fat salary. After all, we all have to pay the rent, keep up with the bills, get a round of beers in... Well, maybe that's not as essential, but you get the idea.
It's nothing to be ashamed of. Negotiating salaries is a very important skill, but it’s something us Brits struggle with. You may be surprised to learn that it’s not all about haggling and the bulk of your negotiating strategy should be sorted before you’ve even spoken to your interviewer. Confused? Don't be, it's really very simple...

1. Research, research, research

2. Be realistic

3. Ask the question

4. The whole truth

5. Negotiating excellence
